I have no idea tbh, my father has a shotgun license here in the UK, and we're both doing a trip across Alaska, one particularly risky section of road - The Dalton Highway, is better driven with a rifle from what I gather. I am trying to figure out how as a tourist we can even buy a gun with a foreign gun license, I guess it's probably not going to be easy.

You might have to be a citizen. |

I was told in a gun store that it was legal for me to own a gun but I could not buy one from a shop because I needed social security for them to run a background check.
The guy also told me that if I went to a gun show (or swap meet type thing) I could buy one from another person with cash and no background check. I'm from England and have a house in Florida but only enter the US by visa waiver. Waiting until I get an EB-5 visa before I try again. |

Alaska is not the Wild West or the Gheto. So you dont need a gun unless you want to shoot a bear. |

I think it was more for safety if you break down on the Dalton, I believe it's grizzly country no? there's 240 miles of it with no services at all. I think I'd feel safer with a gun. I'll try and find the link to show you, so you can see if you think it's legit as I know you know alot about stuff. |

The only thing you might want a gun for is protection from wild animals. Even then you could just get some bear mace, which you don't need a license to carry or use. |

Yeah ehm......do you guys read anything in threads? I'm guessing you need to be pretty fu*kin close to a bear to use Mace on it. I'll take the gun. Up to 35 feet. |
